Neural activity during the performance of a stereotyped behavioral task is often described as low-dimensional, occupying only a limited region in the space of all firing-rate patterns. This region has ...

In complex life cycle taxa, the relationship between functional traits and threat status varies across developmental stages, making adult‑based threat predictions insufficient to reflect risks faced ...

This valuable study combines free-flight kinematics, aerodynamic modeling, optogenetics, and connectomics to ask how Drosophila stabilize roll perturbations duri ...

This study presents valuable findings implicating Xkr and its newly identified binding partners in regulating the exposure of apoptotic signal for phagocytosis, suggesting that Xkr might facilitate ...

This manuscript examines how overexpression of sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor 1 in a mouse model affects neutrophil distribution, metabolism and function. Given the significance of S1PR1 in ...

Researchers have created a detailed map of childhood Crohn’s disease before and after treatment which suggests anti-TNF therapy might push the pediatric cell ecosystem towards more resistant disease.

Learn more about eLife assessments Mosquito-borne virus transmission is increasing globally. Due to a lack of effective vaccines or targeted treatments, mitigation relies on reducing human exposure to ...

Plasma cell-free RNA (cfRNA) is a promising source of non-invasive biomarkers, but its clinical translation is hindered by technical challenges and a lack of protocol standardization, which ...

The oceans buffer against climate change via biogeochemical cycles underpinned by microbial metabolic activities. While planetary-scale surveys provide baseline microbiome data, inferring metabolic ...

The manuscript presents a compelling application of the microfluidic mother machine as a "selection" machine. While individual elements of the work have existed for many years across various research ...

Automated Behavioural Response (ABR) systems, which combine camera traps with automated sound playbacks, offer a solution but have been primarily used on large terrestrial mammals. Here, we ...

The neurons and receptors mediating moist air detection in Drosophila are identified, revealing that moist and dry air detection depend on overlapping Ionotropic Receptors and that these pathways are ...
